re: VP. Proposals, "Simple English"
My connection is too poor (i.e. slow) for that long page for some reason today... but I see nothing to add, and only the report on the malformation of the text by a previous posting editor to be concerned about... so I've made further inquiries of him. Reading your answer, the only thing I have to address or can guess I should, is the belief that most people never get so low on a page as to see external links, ... mostly only we editors, who have to give TLC to the whole article... and no, can't prove that, but not many have the attention span to read to the end of most comprehensive articles unless they are really into the topic, and even then suspect most will and do ignore such things as external links and references, unless they're in school and writing a paper. In any event, that's my premise, and I'm sticking to it... hence the advice to revisit the policy! <G> Bottom line, we clutter up articles enough with infoboxes and disambig lines (e.g. most all the RedirectsN templates like {{ redirect2}} and friends), that I see little harm in a cross-link to sisters up top and visible. If a corner template is presenting browser links, an noprint class banner of similar height across the page top with Icons and the sister's name... something better than hiding the sisters in the external links. BTW-I've fought the same battle from the other perspective... a link to our pages from theirs, and most of them do so prominently and up top... I think it proper we return the "respect". Cheers! // Fra nkB 21:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Advance Wars 4 Cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 19:16, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for all your help on the force article. We now have a GA review up on Talk:Force. A lot of the changes that are recommended can be done rather quickly.

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! Jmlk 1 7 08:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Editing the AW: DoR article is actually what got me involved with Wikipedia. It's surprising I've actually provided that much to the article, especially when I thought I spent more time on the Call of Duty 4 page. Once the game is actually released, I can get to work on the plot section and maybe add a little more to the campaign section. Anyway, thanks for the recognition, I appreciate it.

And while I'm still semi-conscious and feeling the effects of no sleep for 24 hrs, let me go ahead and thank you for catching my mistake on the image.

RE: I wish. I'm going to my local Gamestop around noon to see if they got it. A GS employee on a forum I've been watching claims that if you live close to Washington and Georgia, then the store will have it. Otherwise, the East coast should have it Tuesday. Another forum said that Targets in the Midwest actually released it on the 20th, and since GS is nextdoor to the Target in my town, and I'm in Ohio (which is semi-Midwest), I've got two chances. If they don't have the game, I'll go for the Prima guidebook; GS always has the guides on time. Wait... Nevermind, I have to buy the game at GS because I reserved it there. If only they didn't hype video games, then I wouldn't have to worry about all of this. Comandante42 ( talk) 05:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I have played several wi-fi matches with random opponents, and each time I tried using the microphone I got no response, even when I tried multiple times to egg them on to yell at me or something.

Another editor has added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article Have (linguistics), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{ prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Most UV rays from the sun do not penetrate the ozone layer unless there is an ozone hole. Of course, some UV rays get through even if you have an intact ozone layer, but very little compared to optical light or radio waves. There is always a little bit of penetration, but compared to other wavelengths it is negligible. ScienceApologist ( talk) 23:50, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure what to do at this point. A user has been repeatedly changing the genre of AW: DoR to turn-based strategy, but it should be turn-based tactics. He appears to be ignoring arguments that he is incorrect in his assertions, and is trying to get the page protected just to prevent changing the article. I've tried talking with him on his talk page, but I'm very easily irritated and think I may do something I'll regret. I just need to know if there is anything further I can do to resolve the situation before things boil over. Comandante42 ( talk) 00:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, I give up. I just see don't see how to reason with DeathMark on the AW: DoR page. It's pointless disputes like this that take away the enjoyment I have editng WP. Since I don't want to prolong my part in the dispute, I'm just going to try and ignore it and continue to improve the rest of the article, whatever the genre ends up being (by the way, I still support your merge of the strategy and tactics articles). I appreciate your efforts in resolving this issue, and I think you've earned this:

I have to take very strong objection to your erasure of any mention ( [3], [4], [5]) of turn-based tactics from Wikipedia based on your dispute over Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. Turn-based tactics is an established genre with many reliable sources certifying that it exists. Your reasoning behind removal of the content is based purely on original research.

Thanks for uploading Image:AWDoR Box highlighted.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.
